The Cavs were adamant they wouldn’t change just for the sake of change, that they needed to play fast despite the fact an electrified style fits right in the Golden State wheelhouse. Durant finished with 31 points to lead the Warriors, while Klay Thompson had 30 and Stephen Curry added 26. “We like the pace; they like the pace,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said before the game. Irving had 16 points in the third quarter as the Cavaliers took a five-point lead into the final 12 minutes. Considering the Warriors had out-scored the Cavs by an average of 12 points in the first two games, the turnaround was impressive.
